My son is 2 years old. he doesnt like to eat cooked vegetables at all, just fresh tomatoes, cucumber, carrot, or salat from them and oil. But how to use him to eat other kinds of food from vegetables? may be you know some spetial children recipes?

First I wouldn't worry too much, if he is eating fresh vegetables, he is getting the most nutrition out of the veggies. But if you still want to put more veggies in his diet try zuchinni. There are losts of recipies on the web that have zuchinni hidden in sweets, such as chocolate cupcakes and butterscotch bars. Also you might want to see about borrowing a copy of The Sneaky Chef by Missy Chase Lapine from you local library, it has great ideas for sneaking veggies into things. By the by, when I cook with zuchinni, instead of grating as most recipies suggest, I use my blender and about 1/4 cup of water to make a soup like mixture. I do this for two reason, it hides better, and I am a lazy cook, always looking for the easy way out. I run a parent tot program and have made both the cupcakes and bars for our group and have had raves from the parents. Good luck

How to make vegetable kebab : Boil, peel and grate potato. Grate cheese also. Finely chop coriander and green chillies Grate both the cauliflower and cabbage. Heat oil in a pan and fry both cauliflower an cabbage with azinomotto powder. After frying for few minutes, add ptatoes, cheese, green chillies and 1/2 tsp salt and cook until the water dries up. Remove it from the flame and let it cool. Make small balls of the mixture and keep aside. Make a batter by mixing flour, 1/2 tsp salt, red chillies and 1 cup water. Heat oil in a pan. Dip all the balls in flour batter and then deep fry balls until they turn golden brown.

well i try these kind of recipes for my kid then she loves to eat veg.

My son likes any veggie that is fresh. Green beans, carrots, tomatoes, and fresh fruit, too. I think anything you can give him raw, do it. It's healthy, and the fact that he likes it at all is great! My son also LOVES cooked corn on the cob. Not regular corn that's already ready to cook, it HAS to be on the cob. Maybe try something like that.

My son used to love baby food vaggies and now he hardly eats them but one time I got steamed veggies at a resturaunt and it tasted like they had added a bit of sugar in it kind of like a sweet carrots anyway I tried it on my son and he loves them like that. Hope this helps.

i don't know any special recipes but when my kids were young they used to like to dip. either in ranch dressing or peanutbutter for some fruits.there are cookbooks written with recipes that include hidden veggies
